September 28, 200916 yr so i just rebuilt my 1987 gl wagon Ea82 Carbed it starts up but the idle just keeps going up and up anybody have any ideas about what this could be? Thanks in advance for any help!
September 28, 200916 yr I had the same thing happen to a vehicle of mine--not a Subie--and it turned out to be a vacuum leak.
September 28, 200916 yr mine idles high on a cold start. after a couple of miles it starts running like normal
September 28, 200916 yr Author i was thinking it could be a vacuum leek im looking in to that but by extremely high idle i mean it just goes up intil i shut the car off its like its running on starter fulid
September 28, 200916 yr Author i figured it out i hooked up the vacuum lines all crazy so i redid them and it runs fine Thanks guys
September 29, 200916 yr Was just going to suggest that. Let me guess...hooked up the secondary barrel vacuum canister to a manifold source of vacuum.
January 6, 201214 yr i figured it out i hooked up the vacuum lines all crazy so i redid them and it runs fine Thanks guys hey guys i just got a 87 gl wagon its carb. D/R and the idle is high, it starts up fine an idles fine with the choke on but when im driving after its warmed up i noticed that the idle jumps from about 1000 rpm too anywhere around 2500 rpm when i put the clutch in too shift. any suggestions?
January 6, 201214 yr I'm working on a ea82 carbed that has the same kinda thing going on. When the car is started, the autochoke/start idle speed is really high. When I kick the throttle down it goes down to almost nothing/ wanting to die. Is the idle adjustment screw on the front of the carb? Or is that the start idle adjustment? Where is the other screw?
January 7, 201214 yr Idle screw is front left of the carb. Check to be sure the cable isnt too tight, if it idles too high and you cant lower it.

Thanks in advance for any help! Check the speed adjustment screw (the one that sticks out, on the front near the throttle side of the carb), if you tighten this, it will slow the idle... until it goes so far in that it props the throttle plate open. I learned that one the hard way. Also, make sure nothing else is holding the plate open.
